Interview with Selah Saterstrom

For this interview, Selah Saterstrom (SS) took time away from a residency at the Macdowell Colony to talk with her former Goddard advisor, Rebecca Brown (RB):

RB: Your book The Pink Institution, which was published by Coffee House, came out of your Goddard Thesis. Can you tell me about the evolution of that manuscript? Where it came from, how it grew, how it was the same as or different than what you expected.
